Pros
A few kind and competent teammates, most of whom left or were laid off.
Cons
Driveway masquerades as a forward-thinking tech company, but the reality is a toxic, outdated boys’ club where diversity, inclusion, and integrity are nothing more than branding buzzwords. Women were routinely paid less than men, overlooked, and boxed into low-impact work, while less experienced men - including interns - were paid more, promoted more frequently, and praised. Teams of women left after being micromanaged, manipulated, and gaslit by toxic managers and senior devs whose behavior was reported and ignored. Layoffs were cruelly handled, with employees locked out of their systems mid-day with no warning, including people returning from bereavement leave. These cuts weren’t driven by hardship but made during a year of expansion and record profits. In 2023, Lithia Motors CEO Bryan DeBoer gave himself a 73% raise, earning $19.3 million while employee wages declined. That tells you everything you need to know about where priorities lie. PTO was scarce, HR existed to shield leadership, and the product was as outdated and bloated as the culture behind it. Despite the "innovation" branding, the tech stack and internal systems are stagnant.
